    I personally think that using a truss is better than ceiling joist and rafters. And I agree with Larry when he said, "Truss manufacturers are the experts in this design and know all about slopes and snow loads for each area."

    If anyone is interested in how to determine joist and rafter sizes you may want to check out this website. http://www.planhelp.com/public/98.cfm

    Look for Span Calculator by the American Wood Council in the article.
